Camera Bag for the Sony Nex

I was looking for a project this last week and I decided that our camera and its growing number of lenses and accessories needed a bag to live safely in. After searching through my fabric box, I came across some heavy fabrics that I thought would do the trick.

The finished bag is simple in design but was so hard to make due to the fabrics needed. I used a heavy vinyl water proof fabric for the lining to give stability and water proofing. To this lining I attached bubble wrap to help protect the camera equipment from any bumps and knocks.

Inside the bag, I created a separate compartment for each camera part, padded them and stitched them into place. I used a black shoulder strap from a broken bag that I had stored in the cupboard to finish it off. The camera fits inside the bag really well and it offers heaps of protection and padding. Job well done!
